has now been removed, they are no longer required. Removing them
significantly simplifies error-handling in the socket layer, eliminated
quite a bit of unwinding of locking in error cases.
While here clean up the now unneeded opt_net.h, which previously was used
for the NET_WITH_GIANT kernel option. Clean up some related gotos for
consistency.

o Axe poll in trap.
o Axe IFF_POLLING flag from if_flags.
o Rework revision 1.21 (Giant removal), in such a way that
poll_mtx is not dropped during call to polling handler.
This fixes problem with idle polling.
o Make registration and deregistration from polling in a
functional way, insted of next tick/interrupt.
o Obsolete kern.polling.enable. Polling is turned on/off
with ifconfig.
Detailed kern_poll.c changes:
- Remove polling handler flags, introduced in 1.21. The are not
needed now.
- Forget and do not check if_flags, if_capenable and if_drv_flags.
- Call all registered polling handlers unconditionally.
- Do not drop poll_mtx, when entering polling handlers.
- In ether_poll() NET_LOCK_GIANT prior to locking poll_mtx.
- In netisr_poll() axe the block, where polling code asks drivers
to unregister.
- In netisr_poll() and ether_poll() do polling always, if any
handlers are present.
- In ether_poll_[de]register() remove a lot of error hiding code. Assert
that arguments are correct, instead.
- In ether_poll_[de]register() use standard return values in case of
error or success.
- Introduce poll_switch() that is a sysctl handler for kern.polling.enable.
poll_switch() goes through interface list and enabled/disables polling.
A message that kern.polling.enable is deprecated is printed.
Detailed driver changes:
- On attach driver announces IFCAP_POLLING in if_capabilities, but
not in if_capenable.
- On detach driver calls ether_poll_deregister() if polling is enabled.
- In polling handler driver obtains its lock and checks IFF_DRV_RUNNING
flag. If there is no, then unlocks and returns.
- In ioctl handler driver checks for IFCAP_POLLING flag requested to
be set or cleared. Driver first calls ether_poll_[de]register(), then
obtains driver lock and [dis/en]ables interrupts.
- In interrupt handler driver checks IFCAP_POLLING flag in if_capenable.
If present, then returns.This is important to protect from spurious
interrupts.

- Remove a lot of superfluous locking during attach. There is no need
to lock access to the driver until some other thread has a way of getting
to it. For ethernet drivers the other ways include registering an
interrupt handler via bus_setup_intr(), calling ether_ifattach() to hook
into the network stack, and kicking off a callout-driven timer via
callout_reset().
- Use callout_* rather than timeout/untimeout.
- Break out of xl_rxeof() if IFF_DRV_RUNNING is clear after ifp->if_input
returns to handle the case where the interface was stopped while we were
passing a packet up the stack. Don't call xl_rxeof() in xl_rxeof_task()
unless IFF_DRV_RUNNING is set. With these fixes in place, any
outstanding task will gracefully terminate as soon as it gets a chance to
run after the interface has been stopped via xl_stop(). As a result,
taskqueue_drain() is no longer required in xl_stop(). The task is still
drained in detach() however to make sure that detach() can safely destroy
the driver mutex at the end of the function.
- Lock the driver lock in the ifmedia callouts and don't lock across
ifmedia_ioctl() in xl_ioctl().

rather roundabout way of arriving at the same conclusion.

IFF_DRV_RUNNING, as well as the move from ifnet.if_flags to
ifnet.if_drv_flags. Device drivers are now responsible for
synchronizing access to these flags, as they are in if_drv_flags. This
helps prevent races between the network stack and device driver in
maintaining the interface flags field.
Many __FreeBSD__ and __FreeBSD_version checks maintained and continued;
some less so.

struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

- Avoid an additional lock acquire/release when leaving xl_intr(), by
changing xl_start*() to xl_start*_locked(), and calling the appropriate
routine by chip revision (as the DMA descriptors are different).
- Simplify the appropriate routines now that they are called with the
lock held.
This should save a significant amount of CPU cycles spent on servicing
each interrupt for both UP and SMP whilst remaining MPSAFE.

- Eliminate the use of a recursive mutex.
- Mark the driver as INTR_MPSAFE.
- Split the default media choice code out into xl_choose_media() to
avoid making poor assumptions about the state of the lock during attach.
- The miibus upcall/downcall paths may still be racy.
Change to commented-out locking assertions there for now.
- Tested with nfsclient, routed, ssh, ntp, dhclient and quagga bgpd.
- This needs SMP test coverage. I do not have such resources.
